What was reported
Jan Wolski, a 71-year-old farmer, said that early on 10 May 1978, while driving his horse-drawn cart, two short green-faced beings climbed aboard, took him to a white object hovering over a clearing 'as long as a bus', and examined him inside. Accounts say the grass at the spot was trodden down, and a six-year-old village boy said he saw a bus-like craft over a barn. Wolski gave a recorded interview two months later; the case is known from his testimony and local investigators, and a monument now marks the site. No independent physical or instrumental evidence exists.
